Sascha Stadlmeier aka EMERGE is a German electro-acoustic music composer who runs the Attenuation Circuit label that brings together experimental music artists such as Artificial Memory Trace, B°tong, Doc Wör Mirran, If, Bwana, Nocturnal Emissions, PBK and EMERGE, whose proposals unfurls genres such as drone, electronics, electroacoustic improvisation, musique concrète and noise.
"Materia" is a live performance recorded in Poznan, Poland, in January 2018, and a solo 31 minutes long track, in which Stadlmeier worked with found objects, samples and drones.
Silence is also a texture that is present in this limited run CD of 100 copies and is a preamble to the amplified sound objects made of different materials that are building a subtle rhythmic session. It is appreciated at 8 minutes of the track, processed voices that give a dark and disturbing nuance. Meanwhile, a background sound is wrapped in a loop. Then, sound forms intersect in the enigmatic sound space.
Stadlmeier produces complex sonorities that invite us to move into new directions.
